Description

You may have noticed we moved the event to Friday (compared to the usual Thursday). Being our 30th birthday, we figured we’d host it on a non-work night to maximize mingling and celebrations! We hope you’ll join us for a healthy dose of nostalgia and, as always, interesting ideas presented by your fellow Edmontonians!

For PKN 30, 11 former presenters are returning to the stage to take their classic presentations for somewhat of a victory lap: giving us updates and presenting totally new ideas. Come be inspired, learn something new, and mingle with peers and presenters during the pre- and post-show to connect over your shared interest for all things Edmonton.

Kuen Tang - Mightykuen and Her Dragon: Taking on the Great Wall of China on Wheels

Leroy Schulz - The Collective of Miguelito's Little Green Car

Plan to stick around after the presentations wrap-up and join us for a special treat to acknowledge our 30th event.

Note that tickets are only available in advance through Eventbrite so be sure to get them before the show!

NAIT's Shaw Theatre is located just a few steps from the NAIT LRT Station in Building X. You can find NAIT's parking information here.

What is Pecha Kucha?

Drawing its name from the Japanese term for “the sound of chit chat”, Pecha Kucha Night was devised by Tokyo’s Klein Dytham Architecture in February 2003 as a venue for young designers to meet, network, exchange ideas and discuss their work in public. It rests on a presentation format that is based on a simple idea: 20 images, each shown for 20 seconds, for a total presentation length of six minutes and 40 seconds. Why this format you ask? It keeps presentations concise, fast-paced and entertaining. For more information, visit pechakucha.org.
